Marketing is another issue. Kidd does not have retailers like Brownells or Midway to help with exposure. That would also add another layer of cost, pricing the barrel above Volquartsen.
Whatever it takes to keep prices lower I guess. I know guys know Kidd makes some damn good stuff. I've never been a huge fan of their 10-22 triggers. Partly due to the expense and they seem to be too light for my tastes. Great triggers, if you can afford them. But their barrels are damn good. I've heard that Tony Kidd checks every one of them to make sure they meet their accuracy guarantee. They are well known for their accuracy/precision and quality, so I don't know if they actually need extra marketing. In my way of thinking, they should sell themselves due to the reputation they have.
